Steiner Brothers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Steiner Brothers are a professional wrestling tag team consisting of real-life brothers Scott Steiner & Rick Steiner. Both men, graduates of Bay City Western High School and the University of Michigan, have extensive amateur wrestling backgrounds and are known for a wide variety of power moves, most notably suplexes.
Their first professional match together was in 1989 for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). Following the NWA, the Steiner Brothers went on to wrestle for World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation, plus a brief stint with Extreme Championship Wrestling and appearances overseas. During this time, they won multiple World Tag Team Championships between the promotions they appeared for.
The Steiners are generally regarded, along with the Road Warriors, as the best tag-team of the nineties, with hard-hitting inventive moves, and being babyfaces for nearly 10 years.
